Beautiful high strings. Low strings are rather synthetic. You've got to be creative to make the Brass usable... but don't really expect something realistic... keep it synthy, and it's alright.

I had this instrument years back. I never used a volume pedal for the strings, but I wish I had. Instead I manually adjusted them, sometimes using a long attack for effect. The volume pedal would have been so much easier.

I loved the EQ on the string section. It definately helped make the low end sound warm and full.

I replaced it years later with a Roland Juno 1. Most every keyboard has strings equivalent to this now, although the high end of the Crumar was awfully sweet.
